I think it's a cool idea, but "see-through functionality" isn't possible with today's hardware.

Eyes work in tandem, including focus. If you have a screen over one eye, there's no good way to have what's displaying on the screen cooperate with what the other eye is doing.

Similarly, I think VR is out: sending disparate signals to each eye would be murder on the inner ear. So that leaves a Google Glass-style AR overlay, which remains an ok idea, but is apparently pretty hard to get right.

Gell-Man Amnesia might interest you.

"Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”

In a general sense yes. The instant there's a (female) nipple on screen there's basically no way you're going to show up on broadcast TV and largely get relegated to paid cable or internet streaming. You don't get onscreen rape but a lot of sex on TV is really rape adjacent and perpetuates the kind of "when she says no you really need to keep asking" thing that's messed up so much of the US's sex culture.

We have seen this too many times! We have a DA/police accountability issues. Cops report issues, but the lack of actions leads to this type of cases imho.

This is a very sad story. Thanks for sharing.
A simple compare and contrast between C and zig/rust/D might be interesting - or even golang for that matter (the idea being that code could be reasonably similar, and yet somewhat idiomatic - and illustrate how the C code is exploitable, but the safe language version isn't - except when made to be).

Might be a product of what you watch.

One of the longest running dramas on American television is Law & Order, a crime drama. The most popular spinoff of this series, Law & Order:SVU has focused on this topic for the entirety of twenty-two (!!!!!!) season run. That's nearly 500 episodes of detectives investigating and describing some pretty brutal rapes and sexual assaults of people of all ages, genders, and walks of life.

Pretty much any crime drama is going to hit on this subject pretty regularly. Based on the stuff I've seen on shows that run on broadcast TV during primetime, there is not really much taboo around the subject. Comedian John Mulaney has a very popular skit that focuses entirely on the ridiculous things that are said on this subject during day-time TV.
This is a poorly written article trying to time a large economic exploitative event. WSB is, genuinely, pretty dumb but they actually advocate normal positions like index holdings, and only trading on "moonshots" with a very small % of portfolio.

You say how we subconsciously handle things like obstacles during walking, but here I am at my 38 years of age, tripping on uneven sidewalk where there's a sudden unnoticeable drop in the level of a couple cm (an inch): the same feeling when you go down the stairs in dark, and forget that there is one extra step.

I agree we get subconsciously trained (here, my brain is expecting a perfectly flat sidewalk), but when I say focused driving, I am mostly thinking of *not-doing-anything-else*: to an extemt that I also keep my phone calls short (or reject them) even with the bluetooth handsfree system built into my car with steering wheel commands.

The thing is that a truck's trunk opening in front of you and things starting to fall out on a highway at 130kmph (~80mph) is very hard to train for, but all four of us car drivers that were right behind when it happened did manage to avoid it without much drama or risk to themselves or each other. What self driving tech today would you trust to achieve the same today? Sometimes you don't care about averages, because they are skewed by drunks or stupid people showing off on public roads.

And stats being by miles covered is generally useless: if it was accidents per number-of-performed-manouvres, it'd be useful. Getting on an empty highway and doing 100 miles is pretty simple compared to doing 2 miles in a congested city centre.
I'm genuinely curious why that would matter: modern operating systems (heck, even not so modern ones) already move stale data from active memory to virtual memory in order to service active processes/threads, so if you're the kind of person who keeps hundreds of tabs open (and memory isn't the real problem if you do) then the OS is already keeping all that content on disk, not in memory...

Well, does France, say, still have an ambassador to the UK? Why? Does Alaska have one? No, but the US has one. So if the EU wants to be a country, accept their ambassador, and send away the ambassadors of France, Spain, Italy, Greece, and all the rest.

But if you've got ambassadors from all of those countries, why should you have an EU ambassador? If France and Germany are countries with ambassadors, then what's the EU?

No, its what it says on the tin, any mapping to common law categories is imperfect; though, if you want to map it to common law homicide categories, murder of the “depraved indifference to human life” type would seem to be a decent fit. It may also, in common law terms, be a fit for felony murder, depending on whether DUI is a felony in the state and circumstances committed (typically, its not for a first offense, but may be for subsequent offenses).

The paper emulates a blockchain.
Yes, all made up.

First paragraph: simply made up by Ramsland, by basically treating all the times a ballot was entered incorrectly (such as upside down) as a vote requiring adjudication.

Second paragraph: False. The person in charge of updating the system...was a Republican. Also, the voting machines were in compliance with federal voting system standards. The machine that was not updated prior to the election was the computer that the voting machines connected to, which was updated after the election during vote tabulation. (A hand recount of the paper receipts printed on Election Day confirmed the post-update count.)

Third paragraph: Also fiction, and quite literally contradicts your first paragraph. (They can't both possibly be true; either the adjudication logs were there and there were a lot of adjudicated votes, or they weren't, and the first paragraph is made up.) Also, the machines were audited after the election...by Republicans.

On a further note, neither NASA or MIT has any record of Ramsland or any of his companies, doing any work for them as he claims (and which forms the basis of his supposed technical expertise).
But not a "major" impact. The vastly bigger problem where Harbour Air operates is "real" flights (because it's the YVR area) and cargo shipping (because it's also the port of Vancouver).

And for this area specifically, it'd be nice if we stopped having a giant, uncovered piles of sulphur pellets, full of sulphur powder from being dumped in piles, literally getting dispersed every second there's even the faintest amount of wind. Which, given that it's the pacific north west, is "every second of every day".
I'm confused how USA Media tends to avoid rape but Game of Thrones, which has plenty of rape (and even implied rape of a teenager) was massively popular in USA?
I typically recommend a few different books to everyone who finishes the bootcamp, based on a self-assessment they take. I recommend some books based on their strengths, so they can find a career path sooner, and some books based on their weaknesses, so they can widen their cone of oppportunity within ML.

In our consultancy, data science is done in Python and SQL (and PySpark, but I don't hand out books on that during bootcamp!), and ML delivery is a combination of math, software engineering, and architecture/product owner disciplines.

If you're strong in software engineering, I recommend Machine Learning Mastery with Python by Jason Brownlee as it's very hands-on in Python and helps you run code to "see" how ML works.

If you're weak in software engineering and Python, I recommend A Whirlwind Tour Of Python by Jake VanderPlas, and its companion book Python Data Science Handbook.

If you're strong in architecting / product management, I recommend Building Machine Learning Powered Applications by Emmanuel Ameisen since it explains it more from an SDLC perspective, including things like scoping, design, development, testing, general software engineering best practices, collaboration, etc.

If you're weak in architecting / product management, I typically recommend User Story Mapping by Jeff Patton and Making Things Happen by Scott Berkun, which are both excellent how-tos with great examples to build on.

If you're strong in math, I recommend Understanding Machine Learning from Theory to Algorithm by Shalev-Shwartz and Ben-David, as it has all the mathematics for ML and actually has some pseudocode for implementation which helps bridge the gap into actual software development (the book's title is very accurate!)

For someone who is weak in the math of ML, I recommend Introduction to Statistical Learning by Hastie et al (along with the Python port of the code https://github.com/emredjan/ISL-python ) which I think does just enough hand holding to move someone from "did high school math 20 years ago" to "I understand what these hyperparameters are optimizing for."

Anyway, I've spent a lot of time reading and reviewing books about ML, and my key takeaway is ones that get you closer to writing actual code to solving actual problems for actual people are the ones to focus on.
This Bloomberg article actually inspired me to write this and provide additional context on the "why" this place even exists in the first place.
The last sentence of that policy is the whole point of a FOSS company using AGPL

> In some cases, we may have alternative licenses available for AGPL licensed code.

Large companies pay, others don't need to.
> Keep good notes. Be better prepared to jump back into a different task by knowing exactly where you left off, problem state, and what the next step is.

To expand on this (and point 3), there's some non-obvious (to many) types of notes that can help you switch:

* Sql snippets to display/manipulate the data.

* Log snippets with relevant stack traces.

* Debugger breakpoints and core dumps (if applicable), can be scripted on the command line or imported/exported from the IDE. Don't forget debuggers are scriptable too, most devs use a fraction of a debuggers power.

* Custom scripts, like something that can grep logs for the specific issue you're working on, toggle config settings, setup data in a specific way, etc.

These can help you immediately jump back to the problem rather than jumping to the project and then working your way back to the problem. They don't always help, but more often you'll be able to switch in 5 minutes rather than 4 hours. They will also help with notes to QA and support along with documentation.
Have versions and manage the release and acceptance of new versions.
Your beliefs are yours to hold. Go ahead and believe whatever you want to believe. However, you want to claim you are a free thinker and grounded in "evidence and data". Taking that at face value, let's set Covid aside, and imagine we are asked to objectively evaluate the weight of the evidence for and against a finding.

Is it more likely that the vast majority of international experts on a subject agree and are correct about something, or is it more likely that a small minority of stalwarts speak the truth in the face of a well coordinated global conspiracy involving tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of co-conspirators?

If you feel that you should reject the overwhelming evidence in favor of a minority voice that aligns with your world view, then yes, you in fact don't believe what you have been told not to and are not in fact grounded in evidence and data.

As you say, evidence that does not align with your world view is "anecdotal" and to be rejected, sadly, demonstrating my point.

> I think this is one of the big differences between junior and senior software developers.

This may just be the curse of knowledge, but as a senior developer I would have to disagree. I've thought software was crap as long as I've used it, and I believe I can find a bug (or at least what I would consider a bug) in about five minutes using any software. Part of the problem is there are so many dimensions in which the software can be crap: unapproachable/overengineered, lacking in features, badly documented, inconsistent, slow, unstable, etc. The software could absolutely be some of the best in the world and still be terrible on one or more axes.
The approval of the update adds some time. I guess you can be manufacturing at the start of that.

I had this problem. And unless you are the moderator/host, there's nothing to do. I was having problems with some other instances, but as a user there was nothing I could do. I thought Mastodon would do a better job on allowing me to block or limit my viewers based on their instance, but no luck.

So I went back to Twitter. If I can't do anything about instances I don't like, better use Twitter and get rid of that extra layer of complexity.

So much complexity to get an HTML page on the internet. IMO the future of data ownership is self hosting from devices like raspberry pi's and upcycled Android phones.

What works now:

* Tunnel proxies[0] like ngrok. You can get an HTML page on the internet in 2 minutes with ngrok.

* Software like Caddy which simplifies certificate management.

What's needed:

* IPv6 and ISPs to drop NAT so we don't need proxies. Good luck.

* More upload throughput. Good luck.

* Services that make it much easier to register a domain name and manage DNS. Should be easier than buying and setting up a phone. This is ripe for the picking.

* Software designed with federated self hosting in mind. Like Inrupt Solid and similar projects.

This should probably have a (2007) in the title, FYI. “What every programmer should know about memory” is a modern classic and at first I thought this was a contemporary article about the paper.

As this is the introduction, it might be helpful for some readers to read the rest of the document: https://people.freebsd.org/~lstewart/articles/cpumemory.pdf Of course, it’s a 114 page PDF so the first ~20 pages in HTML might be easier to actually finish reading.

I think this method seems to get more popular by day. IMHO, previously master was the branch you merge before the deploy process. But today this is reversed.

The main benefit is, other developers can rely on the master branch even more. They will know there will not be a revert on the master branch they just pulled one hour ago and already started coding on.
